Extract, Transform and Load – ETL – is an old-school, traditional process for data integration that seems to have been around for as long as there has been data. Today, several data integration solutions are offering new and innovative alternatives like Change Data Capture or CDC. So it is notable when one of those companies – Syncsort – is focusing on the legacy ETL market with an ETL solution.

“With this announcement we’re bringing the power and elasticity of AWS to bear in order to disrupt the pricing of the traditional ETL and data warehousing marketplaces,” said Lonne Jaffe, CEO, Syncsort. “Customers are looking to move data workloads from expensive, inefficient legacy systems into low cost Amazon Redshift and Amazon Elastic MapReduce environments, and we’re helping make that transition seamless and secure.”

In the announcement Syncsort highlighted the ability of Ironcluster ETL, “to offload data and data workloads from legacy data warehouses, ETL suites and mainframe systems into next-generation systems like Amazon Redshift. It also removes the complexity of data integration, delivering an agile and elastic ETL environment with single-click access via AWS Marketplace, with no hardware to procure or software licenses to buy; further reducing the costs and decreasing processing time.”
